Porn star Minamo cements stardom with nude photo book

Not satisfied with the recent rush of gravure idols’ photo books? Even the ones like Minami Yamada’s that are semi-nude?

Then you need something more reliable.

Minamo burst into our lives in 2021 when she made the switch from a brief stint in gravure (where she worked as Shizuku Taiyo from 2019) to porn, and hasn’t looked back since.

One of the most popular adult video performers working in the industry today, she is currently attacked to porn production company T-Powers continues to release JAV titles (we count something like twice as many releases in 2022 as her debut year).

Her first print photo book came out on September 2 (we’ve been saving it up for the blog until we could write about some of the more notable autumn-winter releases for the traditional end-of-year season) and, as you’d expect, it leaves most gravure publications in the dust with its nude pictures of the stunning Minamo.

Intended to mark a year since her JAV debut, the 112-page book published by Tokuma cements busty Minamo’s rise to fame and the very top of the industry. And at just 22 years old, we hope she still has ample opportunity to release further books.

Talking of which, in the summer, the prolific Kyoto native also published a “visual nude pose book” (various JAV performers have also released similar books), which is a de facto photo book but is strangely not counted as one.

Other AV actresses to release photo books this autumn include Ririko Kinoshita and Remu Suzumori.
